Hot dog and onion rings
Tira M.

This place is quite the gem in Charleston. We grabbed a quick bite during lunch recently and it was beyond delicious. The hot dogs are the WV classic and the onion rings melt in your mouth! The young man who brought the food out has such a wonderful personality and brightened our day! The interior of the restaurant kept the old bones of the building with a modern and clean feel. This is a wonderful addition to Charlie West!

Fried pickles
Jennifer B.

Unbelievably DELICIOUS!!! A hidden gem in downtown Charleston. The smash burger, shoestring fries and fried pickles are a MUST try!!!

Great little place in Elk city! A great addition to the growing stores opening. Had a smash burger.. was very good ( a bit pricey) and onion rings the were fabulous!! Food was fresh and hot, service good too! Also tried sea salt carnet ice cream... great too! Give them a try

My hotdogs. So good.

We found this place thanks to Yelp and boy let me tell you it dose not disappoint. I had the best hotdogs I have had. Nathan's dog with chili, mustard, slaw, and relish. I can say they are GREAT. The wife had a grilled cheese, and we split an order of Hand cut fries and onion rings. So good. My best friend had the smashburger and said it was the best burger he had had in years. He and I are both chefs, and I am telling you this place is awesome. Very small. I didn't try the ice cream but heard people saying how good it is. They have a full menu and offer fried fish and you choose haddic or cod. If your in town and want very good food try it.

Milkshake

No food on Sundays, but I was able to grab a delicious salted caramel milkshake. The staff was extremely friendly. It's a very clean establishment. Cute set up! I'll definitely be back. Very nice addition to Charleston and I wish them great success!

OMG!!! A great ice cream place starts cooking up food??? This can only go two ways... GOOD... or BAD!!! I'm proud to report it's GREAT!!! I had the two patty Smashed Burger with the works!!! The seasoned crinkle-cut fries were amazing! The only downside... the food was so filling I left no room for ice cream. Folks, the Smashed Burger is a 10/10!!!!

wonderful ice cream and a beautifully simplistic designed business. Staff was extremely friendly and made sure we were taken care of.

Fresh flowers on the table

I love going to Dancing Dog Ice Cream. It is sandwiched between two of my favorite stores: Backstage Bodywear and Shop 218. Dancing Dog's logo makes me feel happy and there are fresh flowers on the tables. Delightful!

A friend recommended this place. She said their gelato was very good. I was in the area and thought…read moreI would give it a try. The shop is an absolutely adorable little building. There is a parking lot to the side but it's small. Thankfully they have spots on the street where you can park as well. There isn't a lot of room inside, so I'm sure it could get quite crowded on weekends and busy days. They sell drinks & snacks as well, but I was only there for the gelato. I saw the people ahead of me go toward the back and when I was paying, I could see they had a little seating area back there. I didn't go back there though so unsure what it looked like. They had 16 flavors of gelato to choose from and from what I've heard, they change flavors a lot. Unsure if it's daily or weekly, but what my friend recommended to me was not even an option. They do let you try a sample of the different flavors, so that is appreciated. I ended up choosing the cheesecake, butter pecan, and the blueberries & cream. The blueberries and cream was scrumptious. The other two were good, but I wish I had gotten all of that flavor. I would definitely return in the future when I am wanting something tasty and sweet.

Dinner with friends then Caffe Romeo for dessert. The gelato was amazing as usual followed by a…read morechai latte for the road. The line was a little long, but the lone gal behind the counter handled patrons well. She never seemed flustered when filling orders, fulfilling the role of barista, running the register, and providing table service for those that were waiting for lattes and the like.

I used to love this place and the little girl who always took your order was so adorable. When I was getting out of my car, I joked to myself, "That little girl is probably 35 with a mortgage now." When I walked in, it was if time had stood still. Yet another generation of young children taking your order with such efficiency and professionalism. I, personally, think this is wonderful. When my son was that age, he couldn't do the things that these kids do. The little boy who took my order rocked. I got two English dogs, an order of fried mushrooms, and a large drink for $14. They give you TWELVE fried mushrooms by the way. How many other restaurants give you that many? I was tickled to death that their menu hadn't changed because I was always a huge fan. The hot dogs were beautiful displayed and the buns were perfectly buttered. The chili was flavorful and the slaw was so sweet and fine. I savored every bite. Huskey's has good, tasty hot dogs - plain and simple. Nice, clean, not sloppy. You're not gonna have to worry about getting more chili on your blouse than in your mouth. It's just a quiet, family-vibe experience and, sometimes, that is exactly what you need on a Friday afternoon. As I got up, full-bellied, I spotted a young lady out of the corner of my eye. I'd like to think it was the little girl who always took my order years ago. And she still looked pretty young, which made me feel better about time and feel not so Crypt Keeperish...like I'm the Hot Dog Crypt Keeper or something.
